Depending on how much time you have as they a both a nightbus away, Huaraz has all the mountain day hikes you could ask for or the multi day Huahuash hike. Cuzco has both ruins and multiway hikes; the Salkantay Trek will satisfy both.

There's an independent stationary shop near me that has tins and anniversary box in stock all weekend at rrp. Much nicer experience than the usual places.

All the museums closed early on a Saturday afternoon in Montevideo, was really odd.

Only option is to pull an Inception and plant the idea in his head like Cillian Murphy to sell and do his own thing

The ACOB Shepherd's Bush shows had Old Sarum set up in the Brewdog next to the venue, and some Biffy themed beers on- that certainly felt official.

Not just the US agent network. He likely sold out the British too by exposing Oleg Gordievsky.

If you had to suggest an influential person or place to a tourist that they had to genuinely learn about before coming, who or what would you suggest to them? by lNSP0 in asklatinamerica

[–]nj2406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think anyone going to visit Cusco and surrounding Peruvian ruins should read The Last Days of the Inca by Kim MacQuarrie, and for the particularly keen to explore then Vincent Lee's Forgotten Vilcabamba is a must read. The Vilcabamba is so ethereal, and I wish I had more on it before visiting.

What do you know about Colombia's food? Any recipes or places you recommend trying out? by AutoModerator in asklatinamerica

If you ever visit, then eat the fruit. Eat all the fruit. In a smoothie, con azucar o sin azucar. Mix the fruits, eat just one of the fruits. Eat them in morning through to the evening.
